Having found this thread, I immediately registered as a user. My Great-Great Grandfather was the Graf Eduard Boos-Waldeck! I have a photo of a painting of him where wearing his Spanish Military costume, painted in 1848. It was too large a file to post, perhaps someone can help me do it. Upon his death in 1904, at 91 years of age, these were his announced titles:
Grand Ducal Luxemburg Chamberlain and Colonel, retired
Knight of the Sovereign Order of Malta
Grand Cross of the Order of Adolf von Nassau, with Swords
Commander of the Imperial Russian Skt. Anna and Stanislaus Order
First Class Knight of the Royal Spanish Military Sovereign Order of the Holy Ferdinand
The Joseph Boos-Waldeck also named, was an elder brother of Eduard's.
The Boos-Waldeck family was very small, and the first English speaking woman,was my Grandmother, Eduard's son Felix's daughter.
Eduard was considered a family outcast, as he married Katharina Frohlich, a commoner.
